In troubled times, human life is as cheap as mustard, and after a large-scale war, the death toll is often in the tens of millions.

Although the ordinary people of Chengjiazhuang are innocent, they are like falling flowers that drift with the waves, and they can only be swept to the bottom of the sea by the surging waves.

Lin Yu didn't want to be a of the virgin, he put all the pressure on himself, he was not God, he was not a Buddha, he couldn't save everyone, he could only do his best under the premise of ensuring his own interests and safety.

For the innocent villagers who were slaughtered by the Dashun army, Lin Yu could only say silently in his heart, I hope you will not be reincarnated in the troubled times in the next life.

Queen Gao, who had just recovered her strength, scolded Li Guo and Gao Yigong, accusing them of killing innocents indiscriminately, but that's all.

The dignified Emperor Dashun, who once had millions of troops, and King Li Chuang, who once broke through Beijing City and forced Chongzhen to hang himself in the coal mountain, died in a daze under the hoe of the mountain villager, which is a great shame for the current Dashun army soldiers, how can he vent his hatred without slaughtering Chengjiazhuang?

Above the mourning hall, the candles are brilliant.

The generals had a heated discussion about what to do next, and Lin Yu, as a guest, was inconvenient to participate, so he asked someone to bring a chair and sleep in front of a tent diagonally opposite the handsome tent, but a pair of eyes never left the handsome tent.

Lin Yushi pretended to pass by the handsome tent and heard Niu Jinxing chattering: "I'm going to go to the big liquidation, only in this way can I live!" ”

Fortunately, Li Zicheng's gang of generals had more backbone than the Ming Dynasty officials, and would rather die on the battlefield than surrender to the Tartars, so they all scoffed at Niu Jinxing's proposal.

"I believe that Niu Jinxing will definitely take advantage of the night to slip away and defect to the Qing army."

Lin Yu found Li Cuo and asked him to help take people to the camp to ambush, as long as Niu Jinxing dared to run away, he would be arrested.

With the merit of sacrificing the ox Venus, he can naturally participate in the next decision-making of the Dashun army, and propose that they defect to Lin Zhenjiang, the governor of Fengyang in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Cuo gritted his teeth angrily when he heard this, patted his chest and said: "Niu Jinxing, a traitor, has bewitched my uncle since he entered Beijing, and then killed Li Yan's military division, so angry that General Liu Zongmin led the army to leave, which made my great vitality greatly injured. I have long wanted to kill this thief, but unfortunately I don't have a chance, this guy dares to slip away, I will kill him! ”

Li Cuo immediately gathered a hundred and ten henchmen to go out of the camp in the dark and set up an ambush on the road leading to various places.

In the tent, which was both a mourning hall and a handsome tent, the generals were arguing around Li Zicheng's coffin, chattering endlessly, and they couldn't make up their minds for a long time.

Li Guo and Liu Tichun suggested that Li Zicheng's third brother Li Zijing succeed the Dashun Emperor, and canonized Liu Zongmin as the king, so that he could lead his troops to Tongcheng to join the main army, and then retreat to Hunan and Guangxi to continue to resist the Qing.

Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang and others suggested going west to Sichuan to defect to Zhang Xianzhong, and dissolve the Dashun regime and support Zhang Xianzhong as the emperor of Daxi.

Gao Yigong, Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi and others suggested defecting to the Southern Ming Dynasty, writing to the Nanjing court to confess their guilt, and uniting the Ming army to resist the Qing Dynasty. was questioned again and again by Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu, I forced Zhu Youzhen to death, and you still expect the Nanjing Imperial Court to pardon us?

Niu Jinxing suggested going directly to the Qing army: "Zhu Ming's qi is exhausted, Zhang Xianzhong is just a rogue, worse than my Dashun, only by defecting to the Qing court can he live." ”

Li Guo drew his sword and reprimanded angrily: "As the descendants of Yan and Huang, the descendants of China, and the state of etiquette, how can we bow down to the Tartars?" I'd rather cut off my head than shave my hair!" Whoever dares to say anything more will be killed! ”

Gao Yigong also reprimanded angrily: "If the husband dies, he will die, how can he bow down to Jiannu and be willing to be a slave?" ”

"Gotta get it...... I knew that as soon as Your Majesty died, no one would take me as a prime minister in their eyes anymore. ”

Niu Jinxing looked resentful, "I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I am too sad because of His Majesty's death, so the generals will look at it!" I will go back to the tent to rest, and you will take that road if you say that way, who made me have no military power! ”

Because Niu Jinxing's slanderous words killed Li Yan and forced Liu Zongmin away, the generals of Dashun had long looked at him unpleasantly.

It's just that Li Zicheng favored him when he was alive, and everyone had no problem with him, the prime minister of Dashun, and now that Li Zicheng is dead, who still treats him as a green onion, if he loves to go, no one cares!

Seeing that Niu Jinxing had come out of the handsome tent in advance, Lin Yu was secretly happy in his heart, and as expected, this thief was ready to slip away. I just need to keep an eye on it from afar, and I'll have a good show later.

Niu Jinxing quietly returned to his tent and changed into an ordinary soldier's outfit, led the horse and carried the package and hurried to the north gate of the camp.

Just walked only two or three miles, was knocked down by a tripping horse, and dozens of Dashun soldiers poured out from both sides of the road, led by Li Cuo, who was carrying a ghost head knife.

Niu Jinxing, who stepped forward and grabbed Niu Jinxing's hair and slapped his head and face, was dizzy, his eyes were full of Venus, "Dog thief, Your Majesty has not been buried yet, are you in a hurry to go to Tartar?" ”

Niu Jinxing relieved himself and recognized that the person in front of him was Li Zicheng's nephew Li Cuo, and quibbled: "Captain Li, you can't wronged a good person, I, I, I am going to inform Liu Zongmin of the news of His Majesty's death and let him come to His Majesty's funeral." ”

Li Cuo raised his knife and wanted to slash: "The dog thief still dares to quibble? General Liu Zongmin can't wait to chop off your dog's head, do you dare to see him? Your Majesty's bones are still cold, and you are in a hurry to surrender to the enemy and commit treason, what is the use of keeping you for such a disloyal and unrighteous person as you? ”

"Brother Li, slow down!"

Lin Yu, who had just caught up, hurriedly stopped, "Niu Jinxing is the prime minister of Dashun anyway, it's not appropriate for you to kill him without permission, it's better to escort him back to the camp and hand him over to Queen Gao and the generals to deal with." ”

Li Cuo pondered and felt that Lin Yu's words were reasonable, so he ordered his subordinates to tie up Niu Jinxing, and then escorted him into the tent with Lin Yu.

"Second brother, why did you put the cow ...... The prime minister is tied? ”

As Li Zicheng's nephew, Li Guo, the general of the power system, seemed to have become the head of the generals, and asked the angry Li Cuo with a surprised face.

Li Cuo kicked Niu Jinxing to the ground, and said angrily: "Uncle's bones are not cold, this dog thief secretly went out of the camp to join the Tartars, and not killing him is not enough to comfort my uncle's spirit in the sky!" ”

"It's really unreasonable, in vain Your Majesty obeyed this dog thief, Your Majesty was lying in the coffin and his bones were not cold, he actually defected to Jiannu and killed this dog thief!"

The generals were originally dissatisfied with Niu Jinxing, and after listening to Li Cuo's words, they were all indignant, and they were beaten and kicked, only beating Niu Jinxing to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his head was as big as a fight, like a pig's head.

Niu Jinxing knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, trembling his swollen lips and saying, "Guys...... Ladies and gentlemen...... Colleague, Niu...... Wronged, I'm ...... I'm not going to the Tartars...... I went to Tongcheng to find General Liu Zongmin and inform him...... The news of His Majesty's death made him come to the army to offer condolences......"

Li Guo kicked Niu Jinxing on his back and faced the sky: "It's nonsense, General Liu Zongmin can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood, you dare to see him?" ”

Niu Jinxing quibbled: "For Your Majesty, I, Niu Jinxing...... It's out of the way, so Your Majesty...... There is a ...... for Liu Zongmin Knowing the grace of the encounter, His Majesty is dead...... I don't believe that Liu Zongmin still thinks about personal vendetta? ”

Lin Yu sneered, and threw the burden he took off from Niu Jinxing's back to the ground: "Yo...... Prime Minister Niu Cheng went to the funeral with gold, silver, jewelry and silver tickets, it seems that you have scavenged a lot over the years? ”
